Courage To Win Resounding Gratitude Nov. 27th, 2008 at 8:15 AM

Greatness is born out of living in the moment! Yea, you certainly get one shot in life. I believe the attitude is born out of living the next five minutes like they are the last five minutes! I heard another successful man refer to as living your life on purpose! Certainly we can all work on living our lives like those two scearios. To me the very heart of any great response is the pull on your heart and the unanswered conclusion. Andrews courage moment is most certainly in the final chapter of his book! Really it was revealed to him in subsequent chapters. Sometimes you have to see your courage building in the uneventful moments. Certainly,if we are living our lives on purpose we are attempting to allow change in our lives. Andrews baseball knowledge and experience is nurtured in the practice and begining first couple of games. Andrew is an avid reader and can see accomplishments in those leading characters in his sports books he reads. So, today be grateful for winning attitudes that are born out of the spotlight. Inevitably your spotlight moment is around the corner! My daughter Hannah's leader last year had her shining moment. Last Sunday her crescendo ended with cancer. The girls reflected who had her as a leader could see those defining moments when she impacted six girls lives at church for God! Even that day of her memorial the family learned more of her heart beat for ministry. Little did she know those times together would touch a young ladies life forever. So, if life is giving you a moment, a five minute increment of time, make the most of it! One of the greatest moments may not be necessarily what you envisioned in your mind, but exactly what God had planned for you from the first day he created you! I'm thankful for the Pastors who quietly encourage us along the way when they see you in passing and make a point to take five minutes to touch your life and bring a smile! Andrew thank you for your awesome example of courage this Thanksgiving! I could re-read your classic book a hundred times! Your example will encourage may generations to make the most of each day you live! God bless you son this Thanksgiving day! Please grab a hold of your copy of Courage To Win today!
